Where is the new earth's crust added as it pertains to plate boundaries?
on the top of the crust, so it can be absorbed into the crust.
Does the crust have the lightest weight rocks?
Yes it does😜
What is the increase weight of mountains causing the crust to what?

How many percent of oxygen comprises on weight of earths continental crust?
Oxygen comprises about 47% by weight of Earth's crust
What is a pie breather?
A pie breather is a small weight (mine's a chicken! LOL) that u place in the middle of a raw pie crust when pre-cooking it. It keeps the pie crust from bubbling by releasing the air. (my chicken whistles - added bonus)
How can crust disappear at the edge of the boundary?
New crust is being added to the other edge of the boundary

If the estimated weight of the water in the Earth's oceans is 1.39 E 21 kg and the Earth's Crust is 4-7 mi. thick how much additional weight can the ocean's crust handle before it becomes unbearable?

What is the general term of the up and down forces between the crust and the mantle?
Isostasy is the balance and buoyancy of the Earth's crust floating on the asthenosphere, the top layer of the mantle. The asthenosphere, like Silly Putty, adjusts to the different densities and thicknesses of the crust. For instance, glaciers add weight (density, really) to the surface of the Earth. The added density depresses the flexible crust down into the asthenosphere, which, in turn, responds by slowly flowing away from the added burden. As the glaciers melt, the crust under them rebounds (rises), and the asthenosphere flows back, returning to its normal level.
Why do convergent oceanic plates subduct but continental plates do not usually respond in this way?
Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust, dense enough to sink into the mantle. Continental crust is not dense enough to do this.
